Comment: I definitely feel better than I did; but I am at a fairly high dose. Started on 75mg. 2x/daily not enuf! Also, a side effect for me that is extremely unpleasant is the increased appetite and subsequent wt. gain-over 10 lbs. in a month! My back and hips do NOT need to lug around the increased load-I have stayed A HEALTHY 125-130lbs.(TOPS)up until recently.

Comment: Pushed by doctors to use in place of gabapentin (neurontin). Swelling ankles, dizziness, and lack of relief prompted me to go back to gabapentin. Newer is not often better no matter what a pharmaceutical representative thinks. He is a salesman with a vested interest in promoting a product. Placebo or worse.
